Women's Camping Retreat - September 2009
This year's camping trip with Mountain View Community Church was held at the Pinzenatia Campground in Julian. What a wonderful time to fellowship with other women. I had the opportunity to witness and to grow relationships with many new women whom I had just met. The weather was absolutely beautiful. Not too cold and not too hot. Our guest speaker was Lori Bassham speaking on "Clay In The Hands Of The Potter." She talked about how GOD is in control and how we need to surrender to HIM. How we need to not worry what tomorrow brings. This really hits home. I am and have always been a complete worrier. My mom is the same way. I am always trying to fix the problems. I even go to bed worring about the stupidist things. On Sunday my husband Eddie arrived to hook up the trailer to go home. My son Tyler who is 7, is in the car balling his eyes out. He is holding his chest saying that he is having a heart attack! We hurried and hooked the trailer up, said good bye and headed home and then to the urgent care facility to get him checked out. The pain is coming and going Mommy. Although he was able to breath fine and had no temperature, I needed to get him checked out. I have a history of Mitra-valve Prolaps. A somwhat Anxiety problem where my valve to my heart is in larged and with too much excitement I have what resembles heart attacks. If not taken care of properly can result in death. Tye not to panic Tyler. Breath in and out, we will be there soon honey. By the time we got to Urgent care, he had already calmned down. His heart rate was good and his O2 was 98. Which is awesome. The doc said not only did he have alot of excitement, but it appears he has an upper respotory infection. Well, Tyler will be fine, but what I have relized is that I am rubbing off on the kids and I need to let go and let GOD handle everything for me. I need to stop being in control and worring about every little thing. Thank you very much Lori for opening my eyes to a problem that I need to put a stop too. I know that this road for me will be hard, I can do anything with Christ who strengthens me.
